The Associated Press in Minneapolis reported that prospecting may be permitted in Superior National Forest in the wake of a recent environment impact statement. The U.S. Forest Service said Tuesday, May 28, 2012 that it has completed a final environmental impact statement on the effects of prospecting for copper, nickel, platinum and related minerals in the Superior National Forest of northeastern Minnesota, clearing the way for a federal agency to issue 29 drilling permits near Ely.

If the Bureau of Land Management issues the permits, the prospecting would have to abide by the protections specified in the final environmental impact statement that was posted online Tuesday, the Forest Service said.

There have been comments from thankful folks that can cross the border to hunt the Canadian Rockies due to an application for rehabilitation, to sad stories of honeymooners staying on the US side of Niagra falls because of a prior misdemeanor.

On Monday evening (May 21, 2012) my girlfriend and I were both denied entry to Canada at Vancouver airport. The reasons for both of us being denied entry were said to be because of old criminal convictions.

Unfortunately, access is still at the desecration of the border patrol. At Chaudhary Law Office, PLLC we continue to urge you to clear up any prior legal entanglements before heading north for business or pleasure.

You can save yourselves a lot of money and inconvenience.

Chaudhary Law Office founder, attorney Satveer Chaudhary, was quoted yesterday, May 19th, 2012 in a Minneapolis Star Tribune articel about travel to Canada. Earlier in the year Candadian authorities have stated that border patrols will have the option to allow those with minor infractions on their criminal records, that occurred more than 5 years ago, to apply for a one-time resident permit for entry into Canada. The entry, however, is completely at the discretion of the border crossing officer.

The article states:

But meanwhile, those with multiple misdemeanor convictions or more serious offenses still have difficult hurdles to clear if they want to enter Canada.

"I continue to have a steady stream of people [seeking help]," said Satveer Chaudhary, a Fridley attorney and former state legislator. People can seek "criminal rehabilitation" status by filling out numerous forms and getting an FBI background check, which can take eight weeks to receive. Fingerprints also are required.

That process is lengthy, but if accepted, a person can enter Canada freely. "People make mistakes," Chaudhary said. "Most of those mistakes shouldn't be a lifelong yoke around your neck if you want to hunt and fish." His advice: Plan ahead. It can cost several hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on whether a person hires an attorney or not, to acquire criminal rehabilitation status.

Ultimately, those with criminal convictions will have to decide if they're willing to pay the money and spend the time jumping through those bureaucratic hoops, Chaudhary said. "I had that conversation with a fellow last week. He said, 'Well, I don't need to go to Canada that bad.'"
